Tonight I went to a friend's apartment in Ebisu, to attend to the party "Heavy Metal night." It was a small party and there were only 4 people including me.
It was a fun drinking beer, champaigne and wine while listening to Slayer, Judas Priest, Metallica, Megadeth and Yngwie Malmsteen etc. Metal still rules, but it requires a little vitality to keep up with. After the party I felt like I spent hours for a sport like running.
恵比寿でメタルナイト。デトロイトメタルシティ面白かった。
Today SAKK engineers has kindly setup a bon voyage party for me in a Korean BBQ restaurant in Roppongi. I got a gift of Canon IXY Digital 900iS which I wanted to switch from my IXY 600. Here are some pics taken with the new camera right after that. I haven't checked out the new feature yet, but it has some neat features like blur cancellation.
We had a good beef there and after that we went to the Karaoke box and we enjoyed it.
Thanks everyone!
中島らもに最近はまり気味なわけですがこの長編今読んでます。いま３巻の真ん中ぐらいでそろそろ佳境。面白い。
I just downloaded the new album of My Chemical Romance. Sounds good so far.

It's been 7 years since I came here last time.
まさか、こうはならないだろうなと途中で何度か思いながら進んでいたら、いきなり最後でそうなってしまって度肝を抜かれた。壮大なオチすぎてつっこむ気にもならないが、やられた～感はちょっとある。
オビにもあるけど前半の気の抜けたユーモア（こまかいとこでクスッと笑ってしまうので電車内とかで読むのは危険）と後半のB級ホラーっぷりの対比が面白い。こういうホラーっぽいのは他にもいくつかでてるっぽいので、今度また読んでみようかな。
Thanks to the work done in r13, now I'm able to write a review about books in Amazon.jp. YAY!
"afterdark" is Murakami's newest long story available as in paperback now. Even if it's a long story format, the length of the story is actually a little short: 200 pages or so.
The story goes on by mixing 2 different stories, both of which is related to each other. It's the format Murakami is good at writing, as seen in "Hardboiled wonderland and the end of the world" or "Kafka on the shore".
It sounds like the story is going on at Shibuya. It doesn't have an explicit mention about the place, but the description of various places like the faimily restaurant and "Love hotels" definitely sounds Shibuya-ish. The conversations that took place sound very weird but wonderful also, just like other Murakami stories.
It'll be a very quick read: I finished it in 2 hours but it made me feel some refreshing.
Go!
